Weird* how he didn’t call for such punishment for those who violently stormed the seat of American government to try to stop the Constitutionally mandated transfer of power after a free and fair election *weird, but not surprising

And put stooge Stephen Miller on camera to discuss the matter since he is one of the architects of Project 2025. What's abysmal? And while they're at it, ask Trump how he plans to vote on the Florida abortion referendum. He can't get away with bogus "I sent it to the States" answer on that one.

Notice how everyone is somehow talking about Biden Too Old right now, and NOT about how the Supreme Court just legalized Trump being a dictator for life and gutted the administrative state, and how the Heritage Foundation is now issuing terrorist threats? Think that might not be an accident?

Biden leaned into climate & environmental justice, & delivered in ways that would’ve been unimaginable a decade ago. It’s a huge part of the Admin priorities & accomplishments- b/c it’s important! We always need to push for more, forever. But if the climate coalition shrugs “meh”, we aren’t serious.

Trump's supporters pre-Jan 6 spent months sharing blueprints for guillotines and gallows, planning chemical weapons attacks on the tunnels beneath the white house, and discussing the most painful ways to kill Pence, Pelosi, and Schiff. Trump egged them on. I personally don't want round 2.

Trump was so resistant to doing the job that he tried to get us to call Mar a-Lago "the Winter White House" to legitimize the fact that he planned to spend most of his time on vacation.

It's a lot like how term limits have empowered ALEC & other think tanks. No matter how small government is, the country is big; if public power is constricted by conservative law & jurisprudence, private power will naturally reign where public power falters.

I don't take the age thing seriously. THEY PICK A LIE ABOUT EVERY DEM, and the press knows it's some BS but plays along. They know that the other guy is worse in every way, especially his brain. They turned being a war hero into a liability against a fortunate son draft dodger.

It’s such an obvious disinfo propaganda push at this point. And a handful of spoiled rich twits thinking they can hold the rest of us hostage. Honestly if we can get a grassroots counter-push from regular people and unions against the posh pundits and their posh patrons, that may be a plus.

With #HurricaneBeryl, 2024 is the 11th hurricane season in last 150 years in which a hurricane developed south of 20N, east of 80W prior to Aug 1.

The other 10 seasons went on to average twice or more the normal number of U.S./Florida hurricane and major hurricane landfalls.

The intensity forecast is very uncertain, but the Gulf of Mexico is notorious for breeding rapidly intensifiers, and we should not be surprised if Beryl overachieves (again!) and makes landfall in Texas on Monday as a rapidly intensifying Cat 2+ hurricane.

Are you Mormon, Jewish, atheist, Catholic, Hindu, Muslim? In the proposed America Christian nationalists laid out for me, anyone who doesn’t share their strict Protestant worldview would lose rights, including the right to run for political office.

if this was really about who is mentally fit to be president, trump and RFK, jr. have both, repeatedly, over many years in public life, demonstrated that they’re incapable of working through logical patterns of thought or process to establish the veracity of outlandish claims. seems important.

Library funding is almost always justified through patron numbers. The more people a library serves, the more funding it gets. So even if you don't regularly use a public library, get a library card. It costs you nothing and helps everyone in your community.

There's another key attribute of hope that doesn't get mentioned much.

Hope fights.

Even when victory seems unlikely—especially then—hope fights.

We should be hopeful people.

Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools. Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.

Well @amandamarcotte.bsky.social nailed it

Trump just wrote "I know nothing about Project 2025"

Of course, he's lying. Key players from his team, like Miller and Vought, are on the Advisory Board. McEntee said they'd "intergrate" their work

That's he's trying to create distance is a huge tell

In November, Israel arrested Mohammad Abu Salmiya on the claim that he facilitated the use of Al-Shifa as a "Hamas HQ". This was served to the west and Israeli public as justification for the storming and massacres in the hospital complex. After 7 months of torture, he was released without charges.
